The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) invites grant applications for international collaboration
on basic biomedical research. This announcement is made together with 10 other components of the National Institutes of Health
(NIH).

The opportunity to collaborate internationally provides access to new information and perspectives, innovative concepts and
methods, emerging research technologies, and unique populations and environments important for addressing global health problems.
The goal of this initiative is to support collaborative basic biomedical research between scientists supported by NIH and
investigators in developing countries. NINDS is specifically interested in supporting collaborations that are relevant to
its mission. The institute encourages basic and translational neuroscience research that will lead to the reduction of neurological
disease borne by every age group and segment of society throughout the world.
